    If I remember my physics class correctly, 28MW at China’s 27.5 kV standard rail electrification would pull 1018 Amps. Likely significantly more as even that is assuming perfect efficiency, which is impossible. Pretty fricking cool that the little overhead wire can handle that. And really cool that they can design a pantograph contact surface that can handle that.
